It appears that teamxlink blocked the log on process. I was hosting a private arena when some of the other clan members who had left and were coming back in PMd me on Yahoo to say that they couldn't log back on. The rest of us continuted playing for a couple of hours. When I closed the private arena there were only 5 or so private arenas still present in the Halo2\Americas\ branch, and no individual users listed at all. Sounds like teamxlink was waiting for everybody to exit on their own rather than boot everybody.

I also hope it means good things to come... shortly.

I beg your pardon?

XLink Kai is a free service. One con about free services is that there aren't funds for multiple dedicated servers and co-locations on each continental.

Drop the attitude, you're free to leave.

Hey Guys,

Sorry to dissapoint you, but basically the TeamXLink Server went down last night sometime and it wont be going back up until at least  (we estimate) 11pm BST (which I have determined is 5pm PST). The reason for the delay is that the server is in a government facility which doesn't have 24hour service/support/maintenence. Basically the status is that we dont know why the server is down, most likely a server crash and the tech guy should be getting there at the afore mentioned time. Hope this helps, and know that if this was forseeable we would have posted something about.

Apologies from TeamXLink for any problems this may have caused you,

Thanks
[MF]AmO

>> TeamXLink Server went down last night sometime and it wont be going back up until at least (we estimate) 11pm BST (which I have determined is 5pm PST).

BST = British Summer Time = UTC + 1
EST = Eastern Standard Time = UTC - 5
PST = Pacific Standard Time = UTC - 8

If the server comes back up at 11pm BST then those of us on the American east coast will be gaming at 5pm, 2pm on the west coast.

please note guys, that this is totally an estimate, we dont officially know what the problem is, and until we find out there isnt much we can say (it could be a simple as restarting the server, or it could be more than that)

Thanks,

Hi,

I think you caught me at a bad time, after 3 hours sleep and getting up for a needy baby....

since you flamed kai for a problem beyond our immediate control, what sort of answer did you expect?

It's things like those that are said that make me wonder if we should just pull the plug completely.   Kai is a free service, we get nothing from it apart from providing people with a FREE way to play games online. We all have full time jobs, and alot of us have families to tend to aswell.  So before you go shooting off that "Kia is gay" and such, just remember that this is a hobby for us all, we do what we can to run and maintain and further the project, but sometimes things do happen, and if you want these things not to happen, then convince every other user to pay for it and it can be our full time job and it won't

Regards

You supposadly organized 50 people to play on a service you must like since you have all thease people, so get a life and stop complaning.

Is this guy serious!? are you honestly flaming a free service? I love kai and cant believe your giving team xlink such a hard time because their system is down.  These people have lives you know, unlike yourself.  Seriously, you sound like a flaming fuktard.  Somehow i doubt that you actually know 50 people unless there's a gathering of 20 something year-old vigin nerds like the one in that picture you have under your name, which iam assuming is you!?  I hope you never use kai again because you obviously have no appreciation for a good FREE thing....go play in traffic retard

Haha, right, i love what he says here, you think that this our damn job to come out to Xbox-Scene and check their forums and tell you whats going on? Here you want to pay me 400 bux a month? Then I will make sure I get out here when the servers go down and make a special post for you. And what the hell did anyone mess up on? You're just being a stuck up jackass showing off to everyone in the forums how pathetic you are. I say stop using Kai because frankly we dont give a rats ass about you.

Post by: mrjkwik on October 08, 2005, 06:00:00 PM
wonder how hard it would be to coordinate a ban?  stop complaining.  free services that CONTINUE to try and improve such as kai and xbmc do not deserve inpatient, irrational, flaming.  

there is one thing that is becoming quite disappointing on x-s lately.  used to be more brains then asses.  lately, its the opposite.

i say good job xlink.  dont let the whiners get you down.  i'm sure for every 1 disappointed users, there are 10,000 that arent.
Title: Is Kai Down?
Post by: weslee on October 08, 2005, 06:23:00 PM
Okay... I'm not leaning too far to either side by ANYTHING I say here... But if I did have to pick, it'd easily be on team xlink's side.

This thread was started as a discussion about the condition of xlink's server(s). Then comes along your average freak who has to complain, and speak his nonsense about whatever. I'm not "ok-ing" that, but for real... why not just ignore it? He has used his influence (through flaming) to change the topic of this thead. People who read it now have to filter through a fair number of posts in order to get to the content that they really want/need to know. Out of the thousands of people that use Kai, why let ONE fag (you are a fag, jherre6 - face it) run the show here? He is using his God-forsaken attitude to gain popularity on these forums. The worst part may very well be that everyone is giving him that attention, including this post.

What I'm getting at here is that if people ignored users like jherre6, then the flaming would tend to die down. If you decided to do your own legitimate flaming, but got no response, would you keep it up? Even to no avail? Not if you have half a brain. Does jherre6 care that the entire Kai community now hates him? Apparently not, because he continues his own amount of flaming.

Bottom line: Quit feeding the fire.

...and a big thanks out to team xlink...

I originally posted to find out what was going on and didn't want this to turn into a flame war.  I was hoping to play some games last night with some friends, but it just didn't work out and I created a FarCry map instead.

A lot of us do appreciate what you guys do and would pay for such a service.  Imagine the whiney fucks if this happened to Live.

Anyway, thanks a lot and let us know when it's up and running.

I agree xlink is a cool program and the fact that its free makes me not want to whin a damn bit. i mean i have yet to actually play a game on xlink cause i jus got it configured the toerh day and was ready to play a gmae ofhalo on there but no one seems to goto halo server anywho. i got it up and running went on and the server was down i guess my luck after just getting it configured. but what can ya do whining wont get things done faster shit happens go with the flow and have fun when its back up.

Post by: AmO on October 08, 2005, 07:24:00 PM
well heres an update guys,

Officially TheDaddy (flat235) (the main programmer/ideaman/owner of xlink) and TeXlink have left TeamXlink. What you guys need to understand is that XLink was originally built as program for TeXlink and TheDaddy to play system link games between themselves. Well obviously it exploded into what it is now, but it has also (lately) really gone down hill in terms of the community that was XLink.

For those of you that don't know, TheDaddy was spammed with tons of crap and this incident is not the only issue, rather it is the straw that broke the camels back.

What does this mean for Xlink? Well it's tough to say at this point, the first thing is that the development of Xlink::One will be put on hold until a new programmer is found, it also means that Xlink Kai servers may be delayed even more as we work everything out.

Thank you to the loyal ones, the rest of you, well look what you accomplished!

SixShot xlink kai being a community and not just someone where to play, I'm sure you have a group of online friends that also use kai and you have ways of contacting them. Surely you would have asked one of them and realised kai is done and it is not a p.c. error.

THE GUYS WHO WORK AT XLINK KAI PROVIDE A FREE SERVICE AND DEVOTE HOURS OF THEIR TIME TO GIVE THIS TO US. THERE IS NO PROBLEM WITH ASKING WHAT IS GOING ON, BUT WORD IT IN A WAY THAT IS ASKING A QUESTION AND NOT BAGGING/FLAMING.

Xlink Admin please don't let the minority that flame bad mouth and generally have a bad attitude kill kai for the rest of us that enjoy it so much. And yes I do think it is just the minority that are idiots, most the people I get to play with are quite freindly and respectful. It just a shame that the minority always seem to stand out.

Xbox-Scene Amin can you please close this post, I think the intitial question has been answered and the topic has speared in another direction.
